The two-minute rule
Or should I say the art of showing up? This rule or technique basically helps you become consistent. It's super efficient. Once you learned how it works, then your life is going to make a change.
We heard the saying that the beginning of anything is hard. It's true Indeed. But once you start, then nobody's able to stop you, right? Yes, that's how the above rule helps you.
Alright, let's take reading a book everyday. Firstly we have yo identify the exact time to do this or put after certain habit which you do effortlessly. Then we decide what to do in two minute. It can be reading one page or half page. Repeat this every day. You have to put emphasize on merely the 2 minutes of the process. That's all. That's how you master the art of showing up. By reading one page every day, you are voting the person who isn't insane reader but rather don't miss daily reading activity. Reading one page a day is way more better than reading nothing at all.
Once you do the 2 minutes of the process, you get the dopamine hit which changes your mood into positive and simply slip into the state of deep focus. Yes, it's going to be easy to flow into the deep work after completing the two minutes. It's a trick to do the great things.
That actually works, my friend. Just give it a try and see the outcome
I got you

You're different
We all have that feeling when we're trying to start off one thing. Everyone especially ones who are better than me is doing it. The chance i can ace is nearly 0%. I better not do it. If you actually not think that way and do that work. It's not gonna happen. Maybe you can be the number 1 at specific thing. No one really knows.
We all are made different. We all come from different walks of life, have different mindset and understanding of the world. So how come we can't achieve it?
Whenever I am doing new thing, even i feel like I can't do it based on others experience on that particular career. I take a moment to say
I'm built different. Maybe that's gonna work out for me. Only God knows.
Yeah, my friend, just because others are not able to perform one certain thing doesn't mean you can't do it. Just give it a try

Hey
Just wanted to let you know I'm doing all awesome. At some point I say literally that the life sucks and I just want to die and don't wanna live the life because of stress and problems. But once I know the solution of the all difficulties, the life is now making sense. Cuz life is short. There's no time to feeling sad or being shattered. You don't have to be, in fact. You always have problems no matter how you live or how much money you make. If you're really wealthy, the problems are gonna emerge more, actually. So don't try to solve all the problems. Don't try to be a hero. Live like there's no problem. Then you're gonna feel a lot better. Cuz you know it's gonna solved anyway.
So don't take hard on ya

Being disciplined is somehow so hard, right?
These days I've taken up some new hobbies that are my fav ones and I have been thinking about them quite a while. But even though I do love what I do, doing constantly is difficult. Whenever I am about to start doing, I feel so lazy and reluctant. I guess that is the feeling everyone is getting through. What's more right now it's so hot outside. All you want to do is sleep or doing useless things on phone like watching reels or gaming.
Alright we all know what the problem is and we are wasting our invaluable time. But we don't do nothing about it. It's kinda like doing on purpose. But it ain't. Cuz we can't control our body's urges and temptation. If we keep doing that, we all end up being unsuccessful. That's obvious.
If you find yourself doing something useless instead of something useful, keep in mind that you have to do what others are not doing. Then you're gonna get ahead of 99% people. That's so easy. ( I know it's not easy to get out of your bed) But getting ahead of others are easy. Just take action and take a little hard on yourself. Ok?
You got it, man!

Make it invisible
If you wanna break your bad habit, then this technique is just for you. I'd say it is a trick. Actually a lot of bad habits all come down to visibility.
For example:
We just pull out our phone, cuz it's right in our pocket. That's so accessible. If you just don't carry your room, you will automatically be using your phone less.
If Instagram is in your home page of your cell phone, then you're gonna use it a lot. But if we hide the icon, Instagram screen time is gonna reduce.
My experience
I had been consuming You tube shorts way lot until I applied this trick. I turned off the history and hide the recommendations (then you can't watch random shorts). Turned out it was so useful. It worked.
Just believe me on that

Why we always follow our desires?
This message was written with tears. Whenever I try to do good deeds, I follow my temptation (nafs) for no reason.
Look, I know it's a sin,
Look, I know it's against Allah
Look, I know it's not going to help me
But I'm doing it anyways. I literally don't know why.
Ya Allah, please forgive my sins, I'm the worst in the world. I have made too many mistakes. But you are always giving me more chances to live.
Alhamdulillah!
One more time Ya Rabb, forgive my sins

why we should and should read books?
That is a sure thing that reading book makes you smarter and more knowledgeable. In my case whenever I read any piece of book, then my thoughts casually develop and widen. If I have time, then I write blog about what i read. If I don't read any book or listen to something informative, I can't even write a post or blog, You know what I mean.
that explains the reason why I read book;)
but if we are too lazy to read book, what should we do? just go watch some You tube or listen to podcast or go to webinars or attend a lesson. It can be anything. But book has something that the rest doesn't.
Firstly, You can get the data 3-4x times faster than anything else podcast or video.
Secondly, you get your brain work. Cuz you use ur brain to visualize what's going on book, right? That's the part that makes us stimulate (develop) And Also that's the part everyone struggles and causes laziness
If you have time and recourses, then go read book, just read , the type of book doesn't matter at all
if your conditions aren't for reading book, listen to something useful , hopefully not music!
Stay strong

All the people dream and procrastinate what they wanna do. But the real men figure how to get that done and when.
That's the reason why there are unsuccessful people. If someone knows what he's gonna do today, good for him. If another man knows not only what,but also how, when , who with, where and every detail, taking action is the only thing left.
Taking action becomes more easier, actually.
Do u know why you just scroll in ur free time, cuz you don't know what to do. Here's the catch, bro. Just plan everything out. Then you never find yourself scrolling on Instagram

Fear of being exceptional
When your friends say you've changed, they don't know how to say that You've grown.
A lot of people just fear of being exceptional, cuz exceptional people don't fit in the crowd, normal people. I mean They don't except exceptional things, they do, by definition, accept normal, average things.
Average person get average results
Exceptional person get exceptional results
Because his action is different from anybody. That's why the crowd don't like him.
The crowd don't like someone growing. You know?
that does apply thinking differently
when everyone is saying that you can't do that, because no-one else can't, if you really believe that you can do, then eventually you can do.
that makes you exceptional.
If you are trying to make people happy by your actions, but your plans don't make them happy, you don't have to try.
let's imagine, you really have to try, but you can't. Think about yourself, don't care about others.

ask Allah. work on yourself. get disciplined. try hard. stay patient. be consistent.
slowly. gradually. one at a time. your problems will be fixed. there is nothing impossable.

Hey, what's going on?
I'm actually doing good.
The reason is that I have set my goal which is crystal clear. Now I'm trying.
There's no excuse for me. That's why I don't usually find myself scrolling.
There should be some kinda deal with you and you. Then you're not mot going to put blame on the others.
Cuz eventually you're guilty.

People don't find passion
They create it
They create it by getting good at something.
If you're good at something, it's for sure that you love it
So start by improving what you suck and get better at it and eventually you'll love it
When people ask you how you found you passion, then respond them I did what I hate yet have to
It's always the case
So do it what you hate, but have to

Money reveals your inside of you.
As we all know, if we don't have money, we can't do what we want. So we can't say that someone is good or bad. What I mean is if you wanna know who the person actually is, give some money to them or watch them when they acquire some amount of bucks. As a result, he/she does what her/his temptation wants(95 % of us let our desire control us).
take Brazilian footballers. Growing up, they didn't have any money. Once they become affluent with the help of football, they tend to do worst things ever like sleeping with girls, or drugs. Many Brazilian footballers take drugs. Taking bad action is in their blood, you know (i'm not saying all of them). But when they were poor, they didn't have any facility to do it.
you get what i mean.
Good people do good deeds, even if they have little amount of money. They don't say I will be generous when I have X dollars. If you're not generous now, then you will never be.
The moral of the story is that prove yourself you are a good person by doing good deeds even if you are not able to.

Why we still have to learn basic things even if we have advanced technologies?
That seems interesting, right? Why we have to learn subtracting and adding numbers even if We have calculators ? Why we have to learn writing essays ? We already have chatgpt, you know?
The answer is as long as you don't know how smth works, you never get to build smth like that. You can't ):
Everything in existence works in the same way. The fundamentals are significant. That's why you don't understand anything in particular subjectin higher grades if you sucked at that subject in elementary school.
That's what I was about to tell you guys :D

Quit talking and do the thing
This is it. I have no more to say.
A lot of the times talking useless stuff preventing you from taking action. Just because you talk about that stuff, doesn't mean you are doing. So that's just useless.
I see people talking I will do this and that, but they never do. Being silent is actually helpful.
So do that fricking thing.

No one has changed after hearing swearing.
No one has changed after hearing harsh criticism.
No one has changed after being humiliated in front of everyone.
No one has changed as a result of "competition."
No one has changed through accusatory statements.
Let us remember that all the words that have had a profound impact on our lives were spoken in quiet tones.
Do we want our brother, friend, or employee to change? Let's speak calmly. Words spoken loudly are not always heard.

new year resolutions... Uhhhh, ah, again?
i'll tell you something. resolutions are nothing without action. they do not change you.
change starts within yourself. not outside. new year, new month, new week... endless excuses. they do not help you. do not wait for tomorrow. there is no such thing as "tomorrow". take action today.
don't wait for someone to come into your life, and transform you. no. take control and transform your life yourself.
don't expect him/her to come into your life and wake you up for fajr. no. wake up yourself.
don't wait someone to be your change. instead be someone's change.
final message. there is only one way: discipline, hard work, persistence, consistency, failure, analysis, and repetition. no shortcuts. full stop.
see ya'll next year.
